I loved the first Toy Story, despite hating the whole Disney ethic, but the sequel is a shameless attempt to make money off the back of the first films success. I know it seems a little silly to talk of plot in a kids film, however Disney inject so much 'adult' humour into their films - I feel it's nevertheless justified!, but quite frankly in this film their isn't one. Woody gets pinched and Buzz rescues him ...end of story!! Of course they meet a few new characters along the way, but generally these are cameo parts paving the way for yet more lucrative merchandising. I really liked Tour Guide Barbie ( - I don't believe I'm saying this! ) but she only appears for a few minutes and Jessie the cow girl is just plain aggravating ( no wonder Woody goes back to Bo-Peep!! ). Even Buzz's arch enemy Zurg has limited lines and ends up being a pussy cat! This film just gave me more ammunition for hating the whole Disney 'thing' - Grrrrr!
